Purpose: To evaluate the short-term efficacy of intravitreal anti-VEGF (Lucentis) and sub-tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with multifocal choroiditis (MC). Methods: Eight eyes of 8 patients treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF and posterior sub-tenon injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide (TA) for subfoveal or juxtafoveal CNV associated ...

AIM To investigate the visual impact of sub-Tenon anesthesia during combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy surgery. METHODS In this prospective case series, consecutive patients who underwent combined phacoemulsification and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) under sub-Tenon anesthesia between October 2008 and September 2009 were enrolled. The patients were asked whether they could see the ligh...

PURPOSE Macular edema is one of the serious side effects associated with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP). The inhibitory effect of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in vivo after PRP was evaluated. METHODS Argon laser photocoagulation was performed in one half of the retinas in male Brown Norway rats. Experimental rats were injected with 2 mg TA (50-mic...

This paper investigated the bending moment of chair base joints. The ultimate moments (maximum moment), calculated on measured maximum applied loads force), were compared for front leg and rear joints a base. had different angles between stretcher (joint angle) as well tenon lengths (30 mm 32 mm). results tests indicated that test specimen configurations but same tenon-and-mortise geometry, for...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications of a sub-Tenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide in patients with uveitis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of uveitis cases treated from 1999 to 2003 in Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Thirty patients (45 eyes), who received a sub-Tenon injection of 0.5 ml of a triamcinolone acetonide suspension ...

PURPOSE Filtration failure due to excessive postoperative scarring remains a major problem after glaucoma surgery. The authors have investigated whether glaucoma and filtration surgery are associated with increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and whether a humanized monoclonal antibody against VEGF, bevacizumab, can reduce postoperative scar formation and improve surgic...

in this study, compressed poplar wood was used to improve the strengths of wooden chairs. these chairs were compared to chairs made from uncompressed poplar wood. wooden chairs were assembled with two types of traditional joints including mortise and tenon and wooden pins joints. the ultimate force was applied from the front to the back of the seat, were recorded according to american library a...

The vibration dissipation mechanism of the rotating blade with a dovetail joint is studied in this paper. Dry friction damping plays an indispensable role direction reduction. level reduced by consuming total energy turbine dry device on blade-root reduction revealed variation force and ratio friction. In paper, flexible interface feature discretized using spatial beam element based finite theo...
